DJI Avata 2 drone review: Improved video makes it a potent tool for pro creators

The Avata 2 improves just about everything from the very popular original while shaving some dollars off the cost. It has improved video quality thanks to an update to the same 1/1.3-inch sensor used on the Mini 3 Pro. It’s also faster, more agile and the FPV Goggles 3 now have passthrough cameras. The main downside is that the Goggles 3 have limited support for folks who need eyesight correction.

Genuinely a great and very in depth video, thanks for sharing !

[@RichardAmesMusic]

Weddings? I want to see video of the people attending while a cinewhoop flies around. Then I'll believe you.

[@mattalford3932]

That's really a thing. The avata 2 isn't noisy. The avata 1 is, but it's not a big deal. You get the drone shots in between important things.

[@Rocksteady72a]

Really sucks that the old goggles and controller aren’t compatible. As an enthusiast for the first Avata, I was really looking forward to this, but not if I have to rebuy all of the equipment again, unlike going from the FPV to Avata.

[@cartertg]

I think PotatoJet mentioned a firmware update may be coming for compatibility with the previous goggles so that folks can buy just the drone.

[@Rocksteady72a]

@@cartertg Interesting, that'll certainly be fantastic if that happens.

Your videos are just great Steve, can't see how they could be improved on knowledge, content or presentation... but please buy even a basic lav mic to plug into that Rode wireless transmitter and hide it away - it looks kinda odd clipped onto your colour, and even worse with the LEDs flashing away

[@FelixTsang]

Do you mean like Avata 2 in the title?

[@matsmith9757]

We've fixed it now.

[@mattalford3932]

I have both drones. The video quality is better on the avata 2 but not by much.

[@mattalford3932]

The avata 1 did not have poor video quality, lol. Probably a Mavic guy that bought the avata thinking it was a mavic with goggles, lol.

[@swcblad]

suitable for wedding?

[@muskylounger]

We up to the avata 3 already? Damn DJI really be churning them out, I just sold my avata 1 😆

[@Speak_Out_and_Remove_All_Doubt]

Might want to check your title there good sir :-)

[@stevetdent]

All fixed lol

[@iENYRID]

Great review! We have a new version of an electric scooter, we think you will like it. We just sent an email to you and looking forward to your reply!

[@KirbyOng]

Your title shows DJI Avata 3?

[@zeeesea]

[@mikescarborough9196]

Dear governments: Please leave DJI alone.
